The grapes are cultivated in an organic way, and the yield is reduced to a minimum, brewing a wine with a distinctive personality, which immediately became the star of the Champagne region after release. , and won the title of the best winemaker of La Revue du vin de France and Gault Millau in 2005 and 2008 respectively. The unique brewing method and the distinctive terroir characteristics have written a new chapter for champagne.
